[Asia Economy Reporter Jo In-kyung] The Ministry of the Interior and Safety announced that newly appointed Minister Jeon Hae-cheol will attend the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters meeting on the 24th as his first schedule after taking office to respond to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

Afterwards, Minister Jeon will pay respects at the Seoul National Cemetery and visit the Ministry of the Interior and Safety’s Central Disaster and Safety Situation Room at the Government Sejong 2 Complex to receive reports on COVID-19 response status and winter disaster countermeasures. The ministry explained that visiting the disaster situation room before the official inauguration ceremony reflects the seriousness of the current COVID-19 situation and demonstrates the determination to actively respond to disaster situations.

At this meeting, Minister Jeon is expected to urge, "Please inspect the on-site situation in real time to ensure there are no gaps in the city and provincial quarantine systems and provide fast and prompt support."

Minister Jeon will then hold an online inauguration ceremony using YouTube and PC video conferencing for a non-face-to-face communication session with employees.
